The Olympics are going on & so is New Noize. As I do this update it is an unusually gloomy day here in Santa Barbara. Regardless of this drizzly this Monday update of New Noize will brighten up your day, or at least that’s the idea. Last week I promised metal & in hour 1 I believe I delivered, for at least the 1st half of the hour.

---SIDE NOTE: If you put out a song with the word "Juggernaut" I will play it, TRUST this has been an ongoing running joke for my entire music programming career and no one has noticed this...Maybe cause I go unnoticed...EMO Monday vibes---

I kicked off hour 2 with the New Noize’s song of the week, BadBadNotGood "Signal From The Noise". This 9 minute track is just a taste of what we are going to get hopefully later this year when their full length drops .

Album of the Week goes to Stone Giant's "West Coast Love Stories". Stone Giants is Amon Tobin newest musical project & this Brazilian electronic musician keeps impressing me with the audio landscapes he paints. Even though I no longer believe in the power of this fictitious emotion known as "love", "West Coast Love Stories" may appeal to my false sense of hope of love & the spaces it used to fill. If you like Amon Tobin then you need to get down on this record.

I will be back this Sunday with some more of that New Noize, we shall see if you show up.

Things are back to normal on the New Noize front unfortunately with no rockstar interviews but at least this playlist shines above any other new music mix when it comes to diversity of sound, artist & genre over the course of 2 hours and we casted a wide net this week.

Song of the week goes lofi with an emphasis on that "chill" with Park Hye Jin "Let's Sing Let's Dance" which is out now but will also be on her full length LP coming out later this year? I may die before her full length LP "Before I Die" actually comes out so until then enjoy all of this young Korean’s grooves via single format.

Album of the week was a hard one. New Yves Tumor EP smashes, I am a big fan of Koreless new album Agor & Typical Sisters "Love Beam" will one of the top "this album flew under your radar but should be in your top 21 of 21" Hell I even played a track from a live record that you can't get on stream at all (Bronx X Mariachi El Bronx live stream from music studio on Halloween and pressed with a candy corn colorway) BUT the one album that climbed to the top is Wavves "Hideaway". Has Wavves ever made a bad record? I don't think so and for me Hideaway is probably my favorites since their self titled record PLUS I dig it more than 2010's “King of the Beach”.

Next week be on the look out for metal on New Noize. I have been sitting on some surprises and I'm warning you now it will be aggressive, see you there????

LASTLY EID MUBARAK!!!! Tomorrow we celebrate, but since there is no other Muslims in SB, I will celebrate. Ok that is a bit of an exaggeration so me and the 80 other Muslims will celebrate. I do however challenge you to challenge the status quo and demand a day off in solidarity.

Yes, New Noize looks very different from previous weeks and that's due to an amazing conversation I had with Marko DeSantis during hour 1 of the show. You might know Marko from his other band, Sugarcult, but last night he came to represent Popsicko. Popsicko was one of the 1st bands Marko was in with some other Santa Barbara locals and their debut self release OFF TO A BAD START is being reissued on Big Stir Records. You can get "Nastassja" & "Gettin' Used To You" right now.

Also check out this informative Oral History of the Popsicko by S. W. Lauden here

Hour 2 was a nice mix of things but I didn't have the luxury of a 2 hour show so it's a bit more condensed but a killer hour nonetheless.

Song of the Week: Deafheaven "The Gnashing" Sargent House

Album of the Week: A Place to Bury Strangers Hologram (Yes I know its an EP, but it's a DAMN GOOD EP)

Summer is officially here! I know cause I went from being cooped up in my apt to hitting any and every open venue I can find here in Santa Barbara. As the heat wave blanketed the west coast I too came in HOT with New Noize.

So many albums dropped this past Friday it was a bit ridiculous. I mean how can you choose an "Album of the Week" with bands/artists which included Daniel Avery, Doja Cat Hiatus Kaiyote, SPELLLING, John Carroll Kirby, Squirrel Flower, beabadoobee(I know this is an EP but whatever its amazing), The Mountain Goats, Pom Pom Squad & Birds of Maya. There was 1 stand out in this pack, and this human deserves his grammy like now. Album of the Week belongs to CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST by Tyler the Creator. Come the end of 2021 this album is going to be high on a lot of music snobs "best of" lists.

I will say that the new Birds of Maya record "Valdez" comes in at a close 2nd.

This weeks' "Song of the Week" belongs to "Smoke Break" by In The Whale out on Riot Records. This 1 track has me immensely curious on what the whole record is going to sound like.

Next Sunday is July 4th and I will be out of town so there will probably be no New Noize this Sunday unless something changes.
